Biography
Yesu Mongke was a son of Chagatai Khan, but in 1246 his friendly cousin Great Khan Guyuk Khan deposed the child khan Qara Hulegu and made Yesu Mongke the new khan of the Chagatai Khanate in 1246. However, when Mongke Khan succeeded Guyuk as Great Khan in 1251, he initiated a purge of the house of Ogedei Khan (Guyuk was Ogedei's son, and the Chagataids were included as Ogedei's followers) and Yesu Mongke was exiled to the lands of Batu Khan, who executed him. Qara Hulegu returned to power, now ten years old. He died not long after returning to his realm, and Mubarak Shah succeeded him.
